Taisen's 5 bean chili step by step

1. Open all cans of beans. Drain juices. Add to crock pot.
2. Add in onion.
3. Add seasonings. Chili powder, onion powder, taco seasoning. Mix well. Red and black pepper if using. (as you can see, I add a lot of spice because my family loves chili to be extra spicy) stir well.
4. Add in the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir. Set crock pot on high for 4 to 6 hours. Stir every hour if your crock pot is like mine. Mine gets over hot so a lot of times I use medium heat longer..
5. Before serving, shred the block cheese and dice onion as a topping. If making cornbread do this now or use butter bread..
6. Serve with butter bread, cornbread or salad. Enjoy.
